since I wrote about this issue
http://www.aptosid.com/index.php?name=P ... highlight=
time to time I tried new kernels
no one solved the issue, the system freeze at shutdown persists
I'm still forced to use the kernel 2.6.33-1.slh.5, the latest I have that does not cause issues with rt3090

I recently managed to solve the same problem in my netbook with kubuntu 10.10 (link), could you try it and tell me if it works? I'd love to come back to aptosid if it works, but I have no time right now to try it

Basically what I did is blacklisting: rt2800pci, rt2800lib, rt2x00pci, rt2x00lib, rt2x00usb and loading rt2860sta

Hope it works for you too.

Hi franute, thank for the hint
could you write step by step what you have done, please? so I can reproduce exactly your workaround

Well, I've been trying to make it work this afternoon and it has been impossible.Of course the package "firmware-ralink" it's necessary, but the problem is that aptosid's kernel doesn't have the rt2860sta module, so we can't use it.

PS: it all might be a nonsense, but if the problem is caused by the modules, maybe removing them could help. Don't know...

This is going insane, rt2860sta/ rt2870sta are not leading anywhere.

@ slh, but, today, even rt2800pci doesn't look like a good module, as it leads to a system freeze at shutdown; it needs further develop to became stable; do you know if there are some people working to solve the issue?
@ franute in the meantime, I will give a try to your other workaround
